Stories and Adventures

Snapshots from the Past

The following photos are from a collection donated by Brian Mendes. Brian’s brother, John Mendes was stationed at #10 Elementary Flight Training School (EFTS) Pendleton during 1944-1945. The photos capture some of the pilot “spirit” at Pendleton during the war. A copy of the cover letter that Brian sent along with the photos can be read HERE.
